The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has declared its readiness to deliver over two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all other candidates of the party in the 2027 general elections.
The party’s governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, and prominent community leader, Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, gave the assurance on Thursday during a Presidential Mega Rally held at the Ake Palace Ground in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The rally, organised by Egungbohun under the aegis of IBD/Inumidun Squad, attracted thousands of APC loyalists, political stakeholders and support groups who converged to demonstrate their support for Tinubu’s re-election bid, Adeola’s governorship ambition and Governor Dapo Abiodun’s senatorial aspiration ahead of the 2027 elections.
The event featured a solidarity procession through major streets of Abeokuta, beginning from the M.K.O. Abiola International Stadium, Kuto, before participants converged at the Ake Palace Ground.
Speaking at the rally, Egungbohun described the gathering as a demonstration of shared vision, political determination and collective commitment to the APC’s leadership and electoral aspirations.
He said the rally was organised to demonstrate loyalty and solidarity with President Tinubu, while encouraging constructive and peaceful political participation.
According to him, the gathering also reflected the commitment of party supporters to the continued stability and development of Ogun State.
Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, Senator Adeola declared that the APC was determined to secure victory for its candidates at all levels, including the presidency, National Assembly, State House of Assembly and local government councils.
He described the proposed two-million-vote target as a demonstration of appreciation for the Tinubu administration and its policies, which he said had positively impacted Ogun State and Nigeria.
“We strongly believe that his administration deserves a second term. I also want to assure you that we, as leaders and stakeholders in Ogun State, are committed to reciprocating the good work of our President through our votes.
“We are targeting two million votes for all APC candidates, from top to bottom. We are resolute, determined and committed to achieving this target,” Adeola said.
He urged party members and support groups to sustain their solidarity with Tinubu, describing him as the leader of the APC and President of Nigeria.
Assessing the President’s performance, the APC governorship candidate highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects, particularly the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, as evidence of the administration’s commitment to national development.
He also commended the Federal Government’s interventions in the education sector, particularly the establishment of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), which provides interest-free loans to eligible Nigerian students pursuing tertiary education.
On workers’ welfare, Adeola noted the administration’s efforts to address pension-related challenges and ensure that retirees receive their entitlements.
He maintained that Tinubu had demonstrated the courage and political will to take difficult but necessary decisions aimed at repositioning the country for sustainable development.
Turning to Ogun State’s political future, Adeola called for continuity, describing the 2027 transition as an opportunity to consolidate the achievements of Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration.
He said the APC leadership was making deliberate efforts to ensure a seamless transition from one APC-led administration to another.
“For the first time since the creation of Ogun State, and since the beginning of the current democratic dispensation, we are making a very strong and deliberate effort to achieve a government of continuity.
“We are making a bold attempt to ensure a seamless transition from one APC-led administration to another. This is the responsibility before us, and it is a responsibility we must fulfil,” he stated.
Adeola commended Governor Abiodun for laying what he described as a solid economic foundation for Ogun State, expressing confidence that the next administration would build on the achievements of the present government.
He further identified improved road networks, quality education, functional schools, thriving markets and better infrastructure as some of the major expectations of residents.
The APC governorship candidate expressed optimism that sustained cooperation among party leaders, stakeholders and grassroots supporters would translate into electoral success in 2027 and guarantee the continuation of APC-led governance in Ogun State.
